Amy Locane BIOGRAPHY
Amy Locane was born in Trenton, New Jersey and raised by her mother. She was ten years old when a local photographer spotted her and sent her picture to an agent in New York. Amy commuted to New York accompanied by her mother and auditioned for commercials, often doing her homework on the train. By the time she was twelve, she had 50 commercials under her belt and landed her first sit-com, "Spencer," on NBC playing Chad Lowe's younger sister. At 19, Aaron Spelling picked Amy to be in the original cast of Darren Star's "Melrose Place." All of the other actors were in their mid to late 20s so it was surprising to some, given her extensive film resume and not surprising to others, who knew how young she was, that the young Locane was evicted after 13 episodes. After "Melrose," she looked for edgier roles and found them in the comedy, "Bongwater," starring Britney Murphy Luke Wilson and Jack Black and the critically acclaimed and provocative drama "Carried Away," in which she starred with Dennis Hopper. Amy's most recent credits include a supporting role as Maggie Gyllenhaal in the indie smash, "Secretary."
